Feather # 14 — Blue Jay

“In this painting, I used deep indigos and soft blush pinks to create a sense of gentle transition and contrast. Each brushstroke was applied with care, allowing the colors to bleed and blend, capturing the delicate essence of a feather and its grace. The whispers of soft pigment around the edges suggest the beauty of nature’s cycles, while the feather itself stands as a symbol of resilience and gentle strength, echoing the spirit of renewal through its quiet elegance.”
